A Perilous Book Tour: Tamara Hart Heiner

This is not a dangerous blog tour, but it is Tamara Hart Heiner's blog tour for her debut novel Perilous. And though not really a perilous tour, this has to be one of the longest virtual book tours in the history of blogging. Now at nearly two months of making the blog rounds, if you haven't heard about Tamara Hart Heiner and Perilous then you must lead a sheltered blog life.

﻿ One needs only to look at the blog tour stops which I have listed at the end of this post to see the Tamara has a lot of support amongst fellow bloggers, which is an excellent position to be in when you want to promote your book. Tamara's blog is called Chasing Dreams. If you have never visited her blog, I encourage you to do so and become a follower. For more information about Tamara and her work you can go to her website. between the two sites you will find biographical background, information about her novel, and other nifty stuff.

And what about Perilous? Here's the official blurb:

Jaci Rivera has plans for her sophomore year: go to regionals with the track team, make the honor roll, and eat too much pizza with her best friends, Callie and Sara. Her biggest concern is Amanda, the pushy girl who moved in a few months ago.What she doesn't plan for is catching a robber red-handed, or being kidnapped. The desperate thief drags her and her friends 2,000 miles across the Canadian border. They escape from his lair, only to find that he has spies and agents watching their path home, waiting to intercept them and take them back.Then Jaci finds something out about her family. Something which irrevocably connects her to their kidnapper, and makes her question their chances of escape.

It sounds pretty exciting. Unfortunately, I have still not had a chance to read it, but I plan to soon. When I do read it, I will do an actual review on Tossing It Out. In the meantime, in addition to reviews on Amazon and elsewhere, you can check out the tour links that I have provided below and find several very fine reviews from some other bloggers whom you may enjoy checking out.

But what about the contest?

Yes, there is a contest that Tamara is having and it's well worth putting your name in the blog hat.

She's going to be running two contests during the tour: one book giveaway
and one Kindle giveaway.

Book giveaway: The winner of this contest will be randomly chosen. Every
person who comments on any post during the blog tour will be entered into

a random drawing for a book. Which Tamara can autograph, if they want. The

contest begins on Nov. 16 and ends on Dec. 15.

Kindle giveaway: This contest is point-based and begins Oct. 15 and ends
Dec. 15. Whoever has the most points wins the Kindle. There will only be
one Kindle given away. Here are the points:

I think I've seen Tamara over at our dear Mason Cannon's place earlier this year. She looks lovely. Writers tend to have horrible, and sometimes even scary, pictures which they use for their bookjackets and their marketing, but Tamara obviously has a nice one.

This is a wonderful way for writers to get their work out there. As a writer myself, I can appreciate how difficult it is to market your books in today's economic climate.Just also stopping by to say thanks for visiting my blog and for leaving a comment.

Go ahead and say something. Don't be afraid to speak your mind.I normally try to respond to all comments in the comment section so please remember to check the "Email follow-up comments" box if you want to participate in the comment conversation.

For Battle of the Bands voting the "Anonymous" commenting option has been made available though this version is the least preferred. If voting using "anonymous" please include in your comment your name (first only is okay) and city you are voting from and the reason you chose the artist you did.

If you know me and want to comment but don't want to do it here, then you can send me an email @ jacksonlee51 at aol dot com.
